GUBERNATORIAL VISITS.
The New Plymouth News is sorely distressed because His Excellency the Governor intends spending only half a day in the home of ironsand, petroleum and butter-fat. It is very unkind of Vice-Royalty to treat New Plymouth in such a way, particularly in view df the fact that the townspeople have spent hundreds of pounds in advertising themselves and -.heir attractions, while a former Governor is one of the Directors of an Oil Company, and there are still a few shares in the market. But, if New Plymouth is dissatisfied, what have we,, in the sunny glades of the Wairarapa, to say -about it? We are only a storne's-throWj as it were, from Government House. And yet, His Excellency, as far as we are aware, has not yet ventured across; that monument of engineering skill, the Rimutaka incline, with its serpentine curves, its invigorating tunnels, and its aweinspiring scenery! Nor 'has he patronised the Solway show-grounds, the Waingawa meat works, or the Masterton public park! And this notwithstanding that wo have invested quite a lot of money in a company that is going to expand the trade of that West of England port after which His Excellency derives his lordly title!
